I'm happy with the swim, just need to work on getting faster.

I wanted to try diving in at the beginning, but really didn't want to lose my goggles, so I just jumped.

  • 07m 51s  min/mile
Comments:

I really wanted to break 25 minutes and did, but I'm a little dubious that the course is short. I ran without looking at my pace, just went on effort, but I'm not sure I really ran as fast as it seems. I'll take it though.
What would you do differently?:

I probably could've gone harder on the first lap, but I'm happy.
